Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass-Spectrometer
(ICP-MS) |

In order to measure
radiocarbon in seawater by accelerator mass spectrometry, this
system extracts carbon dioxide gas from seawater sample and
converts the gas into graphite powder. The radiocarbon measurement
gives “age” of seawater sample. |
This system performs
high precision analysis for minor and trace elements in sea
water, marine particles and sediments. |
